Ashes Cricket 2013 General Discussion

You created this???

No it's a screenshot from this game but it does show what can be done with this engine and what a total mess Trickstar made of pretty much everything.

Unity is good for creating horror games. I am sure that is what Trickstar set out to do with this one and they did a fine job of it.

Damnit, he thought it was mine!

Looks fairly sweet though.

Also as another note, ANYONE who is thinking of spending another 20 bucks on this game, go over to Cricket Coach 2014 | Cricket Coach 2014 and buy Cricket Coach 14. It's a top notch game, about a similar price, and made by ONE guy (with some help for data) who both knows and loves cricket. If you give him 20 bucks he'll keep making future games.

If you're thinking "but I'll just get Bradman soon" I'd say that Cricket Coach compliments it, as it is based around managing a cricket team which is the one feature Bradman lacks. It's also a completely different style.

Will be getting the game in 23hours My net connection is worse than the game 50kbps

Haha , Which teams do you manage ? Editing the database is fun

Im still certain this game is a practical joke by the developers.
They had to of said "lets see if we can make the worst cricket game ever"
And they did.

It is an utter shame Jara that we wont be facing up to each other on this one.
Hopefully DB will bring some good news soon. Once again we are faced with the abysmal truth that Cricket gets shit on time and time again.......every single time we end up posting stuff like this.

It is why the playsession was important - without it I doubt many would have any faith in our game right now.

Ashes 2013 beat your game in commentry .........just miss White wash

 

[Gentoras]

After learning of DBC14, I cancelled the trAshes pre-order and never looked back,,,owning Ashes09 and IC10, I pretty much expected a much similar game, I never in my slightest dreams thought it would turn out the way it has,,,What Went Wrong? www.ashes13.mf/trcstr

I must say I'm taken by DBC and wanted everything to go right for them, wished no competition between the two, but THIS!!! Utter crap,,,Total disgrace, shame, nonsense, Dance Dance crAshes 13

Ross I would assume you would be very happy with this splendid effort from your competitors.

Their commentary is better than ours but it's a close call as it has not been implemented well, lots of repeats and other issues.

I'm not sure happy is the word as it is far worse a game than expected and so is a problem as it underlines the perception in the market that Cricket games are a cash grab - we will now have to fight that.

I can only imagine how Mikey M and the other developers are viewing all of this. Let there be no mistake about this: what Ashes 2013 has done has poisoned the water for other developers of cricket games.

For all those just thinking ah well the game wont sell, BA wins, you are very naive I am afraid. This has knock on effects.
